Our Student Standards Delivery Plan outlines topics, standards, curriculum, and outcome data that will be implemented throughout the year with students. It is continuously being updated as we plan based on the needs of the students! You can see individual lessons listed within this document by grade and month.
Once a month, we visit your child’s classroom. While there, we teach students character education and social skills that aims to encourage students to become efficient learners. Efficient learners are self-aware and self-regulating. They continuously seeking ways to assess and modify their own thinking and behavior in order to find solutions and new perspectives. Together, your child and the school counselors utilize thinking and problem solving as it becomes the core of your child’s endeavor. We apply skills with an activity that actively engages your child so they are able to make a connection between the problem and the life skill being taught.
